As a kid, whenever we went to the Apple Store I'd run to the back to play the demo games on the iMacs. Now, in an absolutely crazy, full-circle moment, my own game @BlackboxPuzzles is one of those games on thousands of iPads in hundreds of Apple Stores around the world.

If your company refers to engineers as the IT department, you have nothing to worry about. You were already breached last week.
I'm embarrassed to say how many years it's been but @BlackboxPuzzles just got it's 82nd challenge :)
Oh and full iPhone Duo support in any pose, orientation, split, fold, you name it ✨ More to come and a lot sooner than last time…

If you're hearing about the lack of app support on the Duo and wagging your finger at the makers of your favorite app…
+ Duo is a complicated device—many poses & core UI changes.
+ Developers had 3 weeks before press units went out
+ Likely <1% were able to test on real devices
+ Expect many app updates to land before you get your device
+ Long term, it'll take time for new patterns to emerge
Lastly, app makers don't get any of the $2K+ you paid for this device and most won't make any additional $ off this work. So instead of wagging your finger, consider a hug.
